Sony is bringing a big new feature to the PlayStation Portal: cloud streaming. When it first launched, the device was only able to stream games from your PS5 over Wi-Fi. But as part of a new system update that’s rolling out starting later today,

The update, which is now available to all users, includes a beta version of cloud streaming support for the Portal. This means if you pay for PlayStation Plus Premium you'll be able to access PS5 games in the catalogue on your Portal device — without having to own a PS5 or lug around your console. (Notably, PS4 and PS3 games are not supported.)

PlayStation Portal | $199.99 at Amazon I'm still holding out for a Black Friday deal, but now that Sony's remote player can do cloud streaming, the handheld's MSRP is better value for money. You will need a PS Plus subscription to access the games catalogue, but players can now pick up the handheld without a PS5.
